Neil's procrastination is relatable, and reminds me of a character in a Richard Scarry children's book who wouldn't repair the hole in his roof when it was raining because it was too wet outside, and wouldn't repair the hole when it was sunny because nothing comes through his roof when it's sunny.
Did you have Kevin ride by in the lawnmower to cover up that somebody was mowing their lawn and it ruined your audio, or did you do it to simulate having your audio ruined by somebody mowing their lawn, just for the hell of it? Because either way that's brilliant.
It likely has been said before, but you guys do an incredivle job at nailing that particlar feel that a lot of 90s-2000s sitcoms seemed to have both in many visual aspects and in the way the dialogue is structured and written. Keep up the great work!
I’ve seen a lot of homemade (probably a better word for it but idk) videos with shrinking effects and this one definitely does the best job. Yall are a great team.
@@yungurkel it’s a common topic because the minimum effort to achieve the effect is a single green screen, one actor, and a room to film close up I watch a lot of short films on RUclips in general
*wheeze* "this is my cupboard now" *Faint note* "I'm gonna squish you" *Machinima intro* *Organ sounds* What a powerful change from elation to domination. Truly one of Neil's most technically advanced pieces
I didn't know I needed to see The Secret World of Arrietty reimagined as a 2000's RUclips sketch. Good job all, and I hope none of you have to sleep on LEGO pillows.
It's been so hard for me to create things like I used to and it's so easy to think I'll never create again, but seeing you pop out another sketch really does give me hope. Thank you.
the scream at the end was from making eye contact with the Boyardee can and recognizing how difficult it'll be to open now, aka The Approach To The Inmost Cave am psyched for Double Shrunkled 2: Quadruplittler, and its exciting conclusion to the first lunchtime of the rest of Neil's tiny life
I’m always so delighted to see Ryan. It’s so hard to seek out his content because of the OTHER Ryan Murphy (ditto for Kevin James, actually), so it has to come to me. I can’t explain what it is, but the sound of Ryan’s voice just so energizing to me.
"Dear Neil, how do you come up with ideas for your videos? Do you pull random words from a hat? Do you throw darts at a ouija board and scribe the cursed words to the fleshy pages of your diary? Let me know! Best wishes!"
I'd pay up a solid 3 witch's stones to see this get turned into a full series. Kinda like No Place Like Home but this time it's a spoof of "Honey We Shrunk Ourselves." Nonetheless excellent miniature design; this is quite possibly one of the most detailed Ryans I've seen to date!
Incredibly unhinged video, I wonder how much of this is intentional but the entire thing feels just the mildest amount of uncanny in so many different ways. From the lightly awkward conversation between characters who can't decide whether they know their universe or not, the greenscreen that looks clean yet my brain won't let me forget that it's clearly vfx, the plot that keeps promising anything yet somehow gets less done than the average guaranteed video script. Honestly what might get me most is how the somewhat recurring gag around swearing and its censorship has just evolved into completely unacknowledged cursing that feels like it's punishing me for expecting a punchline. Great work as always.
All of Neil's skits feel like a short I'd watch that preceded a movie on a VHS tape. every single one. not sure what it is about them but its absolutely fantastic and i love it

Yo it’s the TMBG fan who I see everywhere !!!
My blood ran cold when Ryan said it was “one of those fast spiders”. Neil needs to start taking this seriously right now.
Was it an Alfa Romeo Spider?
No the scary one
Once again Neil still looks like he's an immortal 17 year old cursed to roam the earth, but at people size.

It’s incredivle indeed
they get the acting dead on but the look is all wrong, they’re using real cameras instead of toy ones like all of those shows.
they also actually make the lighting not nauseating
@@obscure.reference I dig their balance between nostalgic, kitschy storytelling but high-quality production. It's like their distinct brand.
@@floridaflamingogirl3119 i think they just put way more effort in than most of those shows ever did lol, good brand
I can’t wait for triple shrunkled
I heard the spider becomes enlunckled.
They shrink the flying car from that other sketch
@@floridaflamingogirl3119 where was the flying car
The effect of Ryan kicking over the parsley container was pretty convincing!
Neil uploading twice in the span of two weeks after nearly a year? It's a good time to be on the internet
Yeah fr! (although tbf he did to a couple of livestreams earlier this year too)
the two shrunkers, one shrunkered more than the last, talking about shrunk stuff. Truly the best shrink skit
“Dont take it out on the parsley man” sounds like neils dealt with someone insulting his parsley before
I just want to appreciate the size of the Lego and scissor prop and the seamless way they did that passing.
For sure! That scissor transition was so clean
"just fucking step on me neil" is taking me out bro
"Just fucking step on me Neil"
"That felt good"
Lets just leave the context out and we good.
Finally, a realistic depiction of procrastination

How did Neil managed to look like a fusion of himself and Scott Woz called Scott The Cicierega.
They're the same person......
Does this iteration of Neil _really_ look like he owns 5 Wii U?
...nevermind, I answered my own question. 😶
Scott the Cicierega sounds like the final boss of the internet.
The gang keeping early 2000s humour alive with 2023 quality
I actually cried when Ryan said "This sucks! I'm Double Shrunkled!"

This is one of the most important artistic works of the 2020s.

I’m just happy to know that Neil is alive and still active
yeah well he was... devastating to hear that the spider got him but oh well. he'll be missed
Neil's videos always feel like they shouldn't be from this time or universe. lovely.
The little music licks and jingles add so much humor to the darkly funny situation. Another amazing skit.
"Just fucking step on me, Neil" was something I wasn't expecting to hear today..
a wonderful way to start the day. thank you neil and co.

I have no idea what I just watched, but it made me happy. Like a tried and true RUclips video
it's crazy that neil managed to look 20 for 17 years. he's got the ash ketchum skin care routine
spinning like a tornado is definitely what happens when you get shrunk
i thought you said spinning like a tomato idk why
I love how there's a lawnmower at 2:15 right as we're imagining the inevitable Honey I Shrunk the Kids scenario he's going to have to play out soon
